How do you "forget" to ID mushrooms? You either confirmed their identity and are sure what they are or you aren't. I think she just realized how fucking stupid it was to eat some rando mushrooms without knowing what they were and made that shit "too busy" shit up after the fact.

Also, is their a prime yet commonly(so much so that an amateur would both think they knew what they had and be especially motivated to eat them on a lark) foraged species in New Zealand that looks like death caps? It's not like death caps are hard to identify, and I know to someone who has no business eating wild mushrooms they can look and smell like mushrooms you'd find at the supermarket, but considering how easy death caps are to identify I can't imagine someone mistaking them for some rare wild mushroom that they just had to take home and eat out of nowhere.

I mean who the fuck(without knowledge to do so safely) randomly decides to eat wild mushrooms without making any attempt to identify or any premeditation to foraging them?

Quote:And Whitehead said all mushrooms are off the menu, partly because she can still smell the disgusting green funk of the toxic death cap.

And wtf is this? What disgusting green funk are they talking about and why did they eat it then? Doesn't sound like they were much of a mushroom lover/enthusiast in the first place.

Like blow the seriousness of the Coronavirus out of proportion.

It's survival of the fittest here, and if you honestly can be stupid enough to eat a deathcap, you deserve to die of mushroom poisoning.

Like previous posters said, she is a stupid woman.She knows nothing about mushrooms and she goes ahead and eats some anyway without making an ID request on shroomery. Noobs will be noobs. Mushrooms are serious business. You have to know what you are doing when it comes to the collection and consumption of these things.

70,000 US(300,000 globally) dead in a matter of months, no vaccine for the foreseeable future, limited effective treatment protocols, a 1+% mortality rate for symptomatic patients with an ability to kill even young and healthy individuals, no natural immunity and highly contagious, while overwhelming our medical infrastructure impairing the treatment of other medical problems and amplifying their danger as well...seriousness level - low???

Quote:In Detroit, authorities are responding to nearly four times the number of reports of dead bodies. And in New York, city officials are recording more than 200 home deaths per day — a nearly sixfold increase from recent years.

Already more US citizens have died from COVID-19 than US soldiers died during the entire Vietnam War...

Do you have a habit of spouting ridiculous bullshit without making any effort to explain it or back it up? I think there's a word for that...

How many people have to die before you consider something a "serious" problem? Whatever it is I am sure we would have surpassed it already without social distancing measures and shelter in place orders.

I'm not trying to continue the derailment of the thread. Please visit the pub and post there if you wish to continue discussing how you are wrong.

What a bullshit excuse, there is no discussion happening here and its not a discussion worth topic, there is no thread to derail. And what was "wrong" about anything I posted? Those are facts, that the reality of the situation. I'm sorry if reality doesn't agree with your deluded world view.

You definitely don't need to be a "pro" to have the knowledge to pick mushrooms for the table. Many mushrooms are incredibly easy to confidently identify and eat.

Deathcaps are also very easy to keep away from, as long as you do a minimal amount of research. I wonder if this lady just mistook them as something else, or was really that stupid to just eat a random mushroom

This article just gives more reason for my mom to complain whenever I tell her I was mushroom hunting...
